AmyLiz, the ice hotel and disappearing car were Die Another Day, not Goldeneye, which I think was really good. Probably still my favorite, as it may have been the first one I ever saw.

Oh. Oops. I can never keep the names straight unless it's Goldfinger.

My first Bond was probably one of the Roger Moore ones. It's been so long ago, and I've seen so many, so many different times, it's hard to keep track.

I loved the earlier gadget stuff, but this (slightly) more realistic Bond was really appealing to me. Like the parkour scene (and I didn't know what the hell that meant when I read the white font before, either!) -- I loved that Bond wasn't able to just do it, automatically, but had to compensate by using his head (and sometimes simply brute strength and force of will). The Ford Focus was unforgivable, though.

Die Another Day [...] may have been the first one I ever saw.

Jesus, I feel old.

I have no idea what the first Bond movie I saw was. I'm pretty sure I saw Moonraker when it came out, and I would have been...[does math] 6.

Jesus, I feel even older.

My dad brought Moonraker home on a huge clunky laserdisc back in the early 80s. Though I think Live and Let Die was the first Bond movie I saw, actually. In the theater.My strongest recollection is of the 7-Up guy in witch doctor getup laughing on the cowcatcher of a moving train.

Hey! Your ellipses misrepresent what I said!

If it makes you feel less old, I know we had a bunch of those older ones (like Moonraker ) on tape at home, so they could have conceivably been my first. But I don't remember watching more than bits and pieces, if at all, before Goldeneye.

Nuh-uh!

Aaa! That is the opposite of helping!

Daniel Craig on Charlie Rose. (There are a few spoilers for the movie.)

Not only is he a smokin' pile of hottitude, he seems to have a functioning brain in his head. Hot, articulate and confident. A lethal combination indeed.

Deadly.

I don't know the first Bond I saw. I've never, to the best of my knowledge, seen one in the theatre. (My parents only ever went to see SciFi movies, and theatres are a habit I didn't really get into until about a decade ago.)

I know it was Moore, though.

The one I remember most clearly, possibly because I also owned the book, was Goldfinger.

I've seen every Bond movie in the theatre since I was about...10, I guess. It's a thing. I don't even question it--in fact, I pause whenever someone points out it's not automatic for them.

I've seen all the older ones more than once, and also read all the books--though that was way long ago. Maybe I should give that a shot again. Not like I have anything else to do.

I cannot get over how great I thought the parkour scene was. Just so educational about the character, and so few action scenes bother to shoot for more than shock or tittilation.

Mads Mikkelsen makes me laugh, because I'd only heard of him from fangirls getting me to put his picture up. He's just so not at all attractive in the movie.

I have finally seen True Romance. It was way different from what I thought it would be. I thought it was more of a Natural Born Killers thing, when it was actually...pretty sweet. And hot damn, what a fucking cast. Geez. Gary Oldman really is one of those chameleon actors, isn't he? Also, I couldn't figure out who the fuck Val Kilmer played, so I checked IMDb. Heh.
